Watson
Watson
Watson is an adorably petite boy who came to us with his older brother Benjamin. The two lost their parents a few years earlier and were in the care of a ninty-seven-year-old grandfather. The grandfather owned one cow and a tin-roofed house, but he had no other source of income. This was a desperate situation and Social Welfare was eager to find Watson a home alongside his brother Benjamin. God was gracious in opening the doors for the two to come to Rafiki. Watson was very unsure about his new home, but he has quickly embraced his Rafiki family. Watson is an average student in all subjects with good room for improvement. His teacher says he needs to become more organized in his work and study habits. Despite this, Watson does well in Language Arts and seems to enjoy participating in class discussions.
